Question:

How long does the recovery for a hip replacement last?

Answer:

Recovery time differs between patients. Complete recovery can take between 1 to 6 months. In short-term recovery, it takes about 4 to 6 weeks to go from gaining stabilization when standing to getting off of major pain killers to being able to walk around your home with no more pain. In long-term recovery, you have much improvement over the abilities you had before surgery.
